the labour party: protecting you from yourself

[KrazyHorse]

Washing dishes in 130F is pretty reasonable. Leaving your hand under the water becomes painful, but it dissolves grease much more easily than merely warm water.

thanks,

subtract 32 and multiply by 5/9

I'll never remember this.

Anyhow,49 isn't burning, but it is pretty hot... "easily bearable" isn't what I look for in a hot shower, most of the time.

They say not to wash your baby over a temp of 99F

Okay, assume I'm a child. My parents are distracted and they draw a bath that scalds me. I now have 3rd degree burns over a substantial part of my body. I get to live my life in pain, suffering years of operations and skin grafts and look like a freak. How exactly is my life helped by punishing the parent who made the accident happen?

I certainly wouldn't give a child a bath of 120F

99F seems a bit low.

Probably anywhere up to 105F is quite safe. That's still barely lukewarm.

yeah, better a tad hotter than body temp than a tad colder.
